Application filed July 19,

This invention relates to a device which is adapted to be attached to a corset, and has for its object the supporting of the flesh about the shoulder blades, so that it will not protrude beyond the corset.-

Another object is the filling of the space between the shoulders and the corset of a thin person, so that more pleasing lines are produced.

Another object is to support the shoulder blades and prevent irritation of the back from the corset.

Other objects will appear in the course of the following specification.

Referring to the drawing which forms a part of the specification:

Figure 1 is a rear view of my invention in place on a corset.

Figure 2 is a rear view of my shoulder 20 blade supporter.

Figure 3 is a front view of the same with the front wall broken away.

Referring more particularly to the drawing in which the same numerals of reference 15 apply to the same part throughout, the numeral 1 indicates a fiat heart shaped supporter, having suitable fasteners 2 and 3 for 1920. Serial No. 397,476.

securing the same to the upper edge of the corset. A plurality of reinforcing stays 4 keep the supporter flat, and prevent its wrinkling, one of said stays extending vertically through the middle of the supporter to reinforce the middle thereof, and two other stays extending from the lower end of the supporter respectively upwardly at an angle to said vertical stay through the side members of the supporter to reinforce said side members.

Having described my invention, I claim:

The combination with a corset having snap fastening elements near the upper edge of the back portion thereof, of a shoulder supporting attachment comprising a flat heart-shaped body, a vertical reinforcing stay extending through the middle of said body, a plurality of reinforcing stays extending respectively from near the lower end of said vertical stay upwardly at an angle thereto, and two cooperating snap fastening elements attached to said body and adapted to engage the two first mentioned snap fastening elements.
